Trevor,

It is a huge concern. V6R1 is reminiscent of the CISC-to-RISC upgrade
with it's requirement of recompiling everything that does not have
observability and was compiled prior to V5R1. (V5R1 changed as it kept
just enough in there to be ready for this when it came.) There are
numerous vendor packages that are not ready even though IBM pulled in many
vendors about a year ago and told them to start preparing.
The question is, are more vendors going to get the word? Are those
vendors that participated earlier going to pull their heads out of... the
sand?
Here's a legitimate question: Is there a statement of support from
various vendors for V6R1? Like, for version #.#.# of software XYZ you
will need fixpack @.@.@

A search of
http://www-912.ibm.com/a_dir/as4ptf.nsf/$$search?openform
for ANZOBJCVN is pulling up some ptf's for V5R3 and V5R4.
There's a good question: What ptf's are necessary to get ANZOBJCVN to be
ready for this?

Boy, all those people that keep thinking this is an AS/400 are in for a
real treat if they try to skip upgrading by simply doing a save/restore
from V5R2 or earlier to V6R1. There's a good question: How does one
manually perform ANZOBJCVN in such a situation? I found a few anomalies
in early versions of ANZOBJCVN and worked with them as to how to verify it
manually.

Here's another question: Since the point of this hassle is to provide
better performance and to slay FAST/400 (and other attempts to avoid the
interactive tax), will we stop seeing the huge disclaimer on ptf's for
V6R1?
